Sliced Lomo Ibérico de Bellota by Fermín

Lomo Ibérico de Bellota is the ultimate Ibérico sausage. A whole pork loin is seasoned with smoked paprika and sea salt, then cured in a casing for 3 months. The result is a beautiful marbled sausage with a deep red color and wonderful smoky aroma. It has a nutty, smoky flavor and literally begins melts in your mouth as you take the first bite. There is no better cured sausage in the world.
